This was a tough one. I kept hemming and hawing over the little things, saying in my head “But is it Godfather good?”. I mean The Godfather is legendary. No one messes with The Godfather. I’d hate to look back in a year and think I didn’t do it justice. So I’m taking the cowards way out and only stealing the style of one of my favorite Godfather settings (Corleone, Italy in forties) so I leave room for, umm, future interpretations. A definitive and complete style breakdown of the Godfather is just too much pressure for a Tuesday afternoon, so let’s save some fun for a rainy day.

The long alfresco dinner parties, bottles of wine, wildly handsome Al Pacino and crumbling Italian mansions all make me want to wimper with greedy wanting. But I’m about 90% sure that my obsession with the Corleone, Italy scenes stem from the mere presence of Apollonia, Micheal Corleone’s albeit brief bride. Hello, girl crush of my life. I have spent many a tearful night begging god to turn me into a 17 year old, rural Italian bombshell, but no. Hence my constant hunt for a bit more godfather bits to add to my life. – amy m.
